EARLY 1840s PORTRAIT IN BRADY CASE

HOUSING		Full worn case with fragile spine. At top of front of case: "M. BRADY." At bottom: "CASE MAKER, N.Y."
APPEARANCE		Great lighting. Primitive yet sophisticated and stunning portrait. The long fingers are due to the uneven lens. This is a very bright plate for such an early daguerreotype.
CONDITION		Some small black and brown spots.
SIZE		Sixth plate.
